How did you become an entrepreneur?

I combined my passion for medicine and inherited business sense from my family to create the clinic of my dreams. Top doctors. State-of-the-Art AI equipment. Personalized care. My vision is not purely entrepreneurial, it is a passion for bringing that something “extra” to the eye care field. That’s how HARINA Optométristes and the personalized eye care program were born.

What keeps you passionate about your field?

My passion comes from my vision for a new generation in optometry. I want you to enjoy optimal eye health and better vision while feeling and looking your best. My ability to provide on-spot diagnoses using AI-powered technology. My expert team. And, most of all, my patients who challenge me to deliver the best in premium care every day.

What is your best-kept secret?

The next level of optometry. The power of AI eye exams.

What advice would you give to a future entrepreneur?

Go for it! Even if the road to success is full of obstacles, you will make it. It’s not easy but every day is full of rewards.

What makes your brand stand out?

My mission is to be unique in my field. I aim to revolutionize the eye care and eye health experience. From routine eye exams to specialty eye disease screening to optical emergency treatments. I also go beyond standard eye care, specializing in ocular pathology and several advanced optometry techniques.
